Shiaat, Ya'll are making fun of the bagphones and I just got rid of mine last week 
Got my first 'real' , so to say, cell phone just last week-Motorola E815.
I was hesitant to get rid of the bag phone because with the external antenna I could actually call people, and with these d@mn little flip phone things you get ZERO reception around here. Suprisingly my new 815 works pretty well, better reception than anyone else I know.
I havent heard much good about Razors. Pretty much that they a fragile little things. My sister just got one and Im not impressed at all. Feels cheap, and as far as reception, it always had 1-3 bars less than my 815-assuming we are in a place that has reception. Around our place I doubt it even gets service.
Anywho, Im going to go cry about retiring the bag phone. Still have it in the house with an AC/DC adapter that I use to make calls though instead of the home phone.
Funny thing about that is about two years ago they said they were going to totaly get rid of those bag phones and that they wouldnt work, well I heard that every 6 months and it still worked fine. Then just 2 weeks ago they had it all over the radio and what not "BAG PHONES WILL NOT WORK BLAH BLAH THIS TIME IS FOR REAL" Haha, BS, mine works better than ever ever since they supposedly 'shut them off for real'

I've had my E815 for almost two years now...awesome reception. The vibrate function is a little weak, but I'm not bothered by it. I've got a memory card and the phone is unlocked--which means plenty of custom ringtones, full-length mp3 songs and full episodes of Southpark just for kicks. This phone has plenty of capability for having been around awhile.
